Lu Jiude happily inspected Liu Bu's army and inspected the army that defeated Zhang Xianzhong's army. He expressed his satisfaction.

Liu Bu's army has the characteristics of all elite troops, and its appearance and weapons and equipment appear very well.

In particular, the discipline and fearless spirit they showed, as well as their high morale, which impressed Lu Jiude. It was probably the elite cavalry of General Cao Wenzhao beside Hong Chengshou that had this momentum. However, Cao Wenzhao's army did not seem to have such excellent weapons and equipment. When he entered the city, he saw many Flang cannons set off on the city. These Flang cannons were not originally found in Fengyang City, but should have been brought by Liu Bu.

After Liu Bu inspected the army, he said respectfully: "My nephew has already set up a banquet for Uncle Shi, welcome Uncle Shi, and ask Uncle Shi to move to the Central Army's tent."

Lu Jiude said, "I heard that you have captured Zhang Xianzhong, where is this person imprisoned? This prison will immediately meet this famous thief."

Liu Bu said, "Because Zhang Zhe is of great importance, my nephew handed him over to the governor of Anqing, Wang Zhiwen, who was taken care of by Wang Zhiwen, and he was strictly prevented day and night, and he must not be negligent."

Lu Jiude said: "This is a matter of course, but will it be a big deal to do this?"

Liu Bu said, "This is not a big deal, but it is really necessary. Because my nephew once found out that Zhang Xianzhong has many close-knit soldiers. They are unwilling to let Zhang Xianzhong be captured by our army, so they secretly organized an army to rob them back, so my nephew will take strict precautions and dare not be lazy at all."

Lu Jiude snorted coldly and said, "It's true that he is stubborn and unscrupulous, but this is just a dying struggle, and he is destined to be useless."

Liu Bu also sneered in agreement and said, "Yes! I'm not afraid of him coming, but I'm afraid he won't come. If I dare to come, I'll kill one, and two kill one pair."

Lu Jiude giggled and said, "It turns out that he is a heroic general. I will immediately take my robber to see this thief. This sect wants to personally scold this giant thief who is harmful to the world."

Liu Bu had no choice but to flatter him: "My father-in-law is indeed loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and he is the emperor's confidant. My nephew admires him very much."

Lu Jiude said, "Zhang Thief did such a careless thing. Our prison decided to personally escort him to the capital and hand it over to His Majesty the Emperor. He cut him into pieces and executed him in a thousand knives. Only in this way can he eliminate the hatred in his heart."

Liu Bu knew that Zhang Xianzhong's fate should be like this. Since he fell into the hands of the government army, he would not have any good results. This was not something he could control, but Liu Bu could not not hand him over, because Liu Bu still needs his head to make achievements for himself. This is a super valuable head, and even if you have a lot of money, you may not be able to exchange it.

Liu Bu said: "The father-in-law personally escorted Zhang Zhe, and this life is a bit dangerous. The news I received is not groundless. If there is no elite troops to protect him, it may not be able to block the enemy's attack."

Lu Jiude was secretly surprised and said, "Where did you hear the news from, but it's true."

Liu Bu said: "It's true."

The reason why Liu Bu spread the fake news was to get out of Fengyang's trap. He knew that he had done this vote alone. When Hong Chengchou and Zhu Dadian came, he would not get any benefits, and would definitely be angry with them and would definitely be bullied by them the most. Since he gained benefits, he also fought with the bandits and accumulated experience, there was no need to fight them to death.

After Liu Bu made this vote, he could at least become a general or general. He would never be promoted or rewarded in the short term. Since there was no appreciation or reward, he had any motivation to fight desperately. This was to use the capital of the Liu family army and fight for the royal family. This business was not worth it.

That's why he spread false news, just to scare Lu Jiude, he knew that there was no eunuch who was not afraid of death. He was not afraid of death and was afraid of messing up his errands. So after hearing this, Lu Jiude immediately became careful.

Lu Jiude said: "This is a big deal. If Zhang Zhe escapes, we will inevitably move. Therefore, our supervisor recommends that you lead the elite army of our headquarters to escort Zhang Zhe to Beijing to ensure that everything is foolproof."

Liu Bu wanted to get out of the trap after taking all his benefits. He didn't want to work hard for Hong Chengchou and Zhu Dadian, nor did he want to work hard for the court. Returning to the north and returning to Shandong was his best place, so he happily agreed.

After Liu Bu received Lu Jiude's order, he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare supplies. They will leave here and return to the north in the near future. Liu Bu has become very realistic now, that is, since he has gained benefits, he will stop when he sees good. It is impossible that there will be no benefits and he will fight desperately.

Another point is that the north is their main battlefield. He always felt that fighting the bandits and other armies was not interesting. The Ming people fought against the Ming people. Since his army has verified that it has strong combat capabilities and is considered a strong army in the world, it should fight against the Jiannu army, which is known as the invincible East Asia.

Sometimes to say something bad, even if Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others rebelled successfully and overthrew the Ming Dynasty, this was the Han people's world, and the meat was still rotten in the pot. However, if the court was given to the aliens and the Manchus were allowed to rule the Central Plains, it would become a foreigner, and they would become inferior people. This is something that future generations would never forgive.

That's why Liu Bu thought of getting out of the trap. Moreover, he had a tacit understanding with his father. After receiving the news of his victory, his father immediately replied to him and asked him to find an excuse to lead his troops back to the north. As long as he returned to the north, he would be sure to transfer his troops back to Shandong.

Their Liu family now has a tendency to become warlord, so they always have to deploy their troops in Shandong and their own local areas. This is the most cost-effective arrangement. If they lead their troops to pursue bandits and fight and kill, they might have consumed themselves and killed themselves in this pursuit battle.

Because of this idea, Liu Bu immediately gave Lu Jiude more than a dozen boxes of treasures. The eunuch had no other things below. He liked money very much, as if the more money he had, the more secure he felt. Not only was he eunuchs, but everyone was like this, but the eunuchs were even more greedy.

When Liu Bu sent more than a dozen boxes of treasures, Lu Jiude smiled and praised Liu Buhui for being a human being.

In fact, as the military eunuch sent by Emperor Chongzhen, Lu Jiude's status was not inferior to Hong Chengchou and Zhu Dadian. At the same time, he could also intervene and modify the strategies and policies of the two adults, so Liu Bu focused on currying favor with him.

Liu Bu has studied these three big shots. Hong Chengchou was born in a Jinshi, and Zhu Dadian was also born in a Jinshi. They still have certain professional ethics. If Liu Bu falls into their hands, they will definitely order Liu Bu to fight to fight to the death, and eventually consume the main force of their Liu family army in the battle to eliminate bandits. This is actually in line with the court's strategy.

Even the emperor would not object to this, and they just turned a blind eye. In the eyes of the emperor, the Liu family and the Qi army were not trustworthy. Only the army directly led by the court could be accepted and trusted. Therefore, he was always wary of the troops coming out of these places. What they feared most was that another army such as the Qi family army or the Li family army (Li Chengliang). The best way was to wipe out the bandits and consume all these troops at the same time. The court could enter the warehouse and put swords and guns into the warehouse, put them on Ma Nanshan, and rest assured.

But the eunuch Lu Jiude is different. What eunuch can do is selfish in everything, and he takes himself first and prioritizes the goal. Moreover, he also has a greedy nature of life and fear of death. After listening to Liu Bu's rumors, he must do his own job well at the first time. He has no strategic vision and will not care about the future affairs of the court. He has the reputation of knowing the military, but he has no strategic vision. So after Liu Bu put forward such an idea, he agreed immediately because it is in his interests.

In his eyes of Lu Jiude, as long as he took Zhang Xianzhong to the emperor and handed it over to the emperor, he would firmly maintain his position. As for pursuing bandits and regaining Fengyang, these things were all things Hong Chengchou and Zhu Dadian. They had to worry about, not Lu Jiude was to worry about.

Moreover, he was afraid that the rumors that Liu Bu said were that if the real army dispatched by bandits hijacked them, if Zhang Xianzhong was lost in his hands, he would probably be cut into pieces by the emperor, Lu Jiude, so he decided to use the Liu army that captured Zhang Xianzhong alive to escort him back to Beijing.

Zhang Xianzhong's elite army was defeated by the Liu family army, and even Zhang Xianzhong was captured alive by them. What can Zhang Xianzhong do if he can do it? So sending Liu Bu to escort them back to Beijing is the best way and a foolproof method. Lu Jiude basically agreed without any consideration, which is in his interests.

So after Liu Bu got what he wanted, he also gave out more than a dozen boxes of jewelry. It was worth it to give out these things. At least they could get rid of the pit after getting all the benefits.
